Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a high power switching power supply which can be used for integration of an electricity distribution system into an automobile vehicle powered by internal combustion engines and electric motors.
  • the electrical architectures for new electric vehicles require two voltage buses of different nominal voltage value, for example 12V for powering lamps, electronic control units, etc, and 300V for powering an electric motor used as an auxiliary torque to the main engine.
  • This 300V bus voltage may be connected to a supercapacitor, battery or energy storage element as an energy buffer to the input of the electric motor.
  • the electric vehicle requires a bi-directional DC/DC converter due to the energy needing to be transferred bi-directionally between the two voltage buses.
  • start-up for example, the energy is supplied by the low voltage battery and transferred to the high-voltage bus, while at other moments, for example when braking, the energy of the motor is transferred to the 12V battery for recovery.
  • a bi-directional DC/DC converter is known from US. Pat. No. 6, 587,356 B2, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • This bi-directional DC/DC converter discloses a high power isolated full-bridge boost DC/DC converter with an additional start-up circuit for establishing an initial output voltage before the converter operates in its normal boost mode.
  • the start-up circuit has a start-up fly-back winding which is coupled to the input boost choke, a diode and a capacitor as an output capacitor.
  • This auxiliary circuit is coupled in parallel to the output of the secondary side of the full-bridge DC/DC converter.
  • This auxiliary converter is used for the pre-charge of the output, e.g. capacitor, battery, because otherwise it would be impossible to start through the main power stage.
  • auxiliary flyback output increases the output voltage up to a predetermined value (approximately 12V*n) and being disconnected after this instant and starting the operation of the main full-bridge converter.
  • the full-bridge DC/DC converter has disadvantages such as a clamping circuit must be added to avoid the voltage spikes at the fly-back winding and the boost choke.
  • bi-directional DC/DC converter which utilizes a reduced number of electronic components such as switches, capacitors or similar, avoiding the spikes during operation and able to provide any output voltage between 0V and the nominal output voltage. Furthermore, the bi-directional DC/DC converter should be reduced in cost and size and of high yield.
  • a high power switching converter comprising a first power stage and a second power stage connected in cascade such that the second power stage is connectable to a high voltage bus, capacitor or to an electric motor.
  • the second power stage includes a first switching element which is held ON during part of a start-up period and a second switching element is held OFF during the same part of the start-up period until the output voltage achieves a predetermined voltage threshold. Once the threshold value is achieved, the first power stage is held constant in line with a predetermined duty cycle whereas the second power stage is switched such that the intended output voltage is achieved.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a switching power converter which supplies the full rated power even during the start-up period, and every state of the switching converter is driven properly.
  • Another object of the present invention is obtained, namely a good losses distribution and optimum yield in the rectification stage because it is operating in accord with 50% duty cycle.
  • Figure 1 represents a bi-directional switching power supply including a first isolated full-bridge DC/DC converter stage 11 and a second DC/DC buck cell type converter stage 12, two-stage cascade connected, for generating an output voltage in response to an input voltage and current.
  • the first power stage 11 is connected to a first voltage source which voltage value, e.g. 12V, is lower than the voltage value, e.g. 300V, of a second voltage source which is coupled to the second power stage 12.
  • a first voltage source which voltage value, e.g. 12V
  • a second voltage source which is coupled to the second power stage 12.
  • a full-bridge topology with full wave rectification in the secondary side is considered only for explanation.
  • other topologies with or without isolating may also be suitable for achieving the present invention, such as push-pull, half-bridge, or similar; as well as rectification stages (full-wave rectification vs half-wave rectification).
  • the first power stage 11 has a first capacitor 13 connected in parallel to a leg 14 of the full-bridge which has four switches, a transformer 16, 17 means having a primary winding 16 being connected between two legs 14, 15 of the full-bridge, a secondary winding 17 being coupled between two legs of a rectifier 18 means which has four switches too.
  • a first end of an inductor 19 of the second power stage is connected in series to a node of the rectifier 18.
  • a second end of the inductor 19 is connected both in series to a first terminal of a first switching 21 element as well as in parallel to the first terminal of a second switching 20 element, namely, freewheeling switch.
  • a second terminal of the first switch 21 is connected in parallel to an end of a second capacitor 22 which provides an output voltage.
  • each switch could be a field effect transistor MOSFET, IGBTs or other type of silicon switches, respectively.
  • the PWMs controller provides a duty cycle according to a predetermined timing sequence, with proper synchronization. For example, during normal boost mode operation (12V ⁇ 300V) the duty cycle of the first stage 11 is ideally held constant at fifty percent and the duty cycle of the second stage 12 is adapted to keep the output voltage regulated.
  • the first stage 11 is also operating at 50% duty cycle, and the second stage 12 uses its duty cycle to regulate the output voltage.
  • the switches of the second power stage 12 are turned on and off according to a predetermined timing sequence for providing the intended output voltage.
  • the bi-directional switching power supply provides a start-up scheme for the converter working in boost mode.
  • This start-up scheme uses only the first power stage 11, that is, the second PWM controller generates control signals which are inputted to control terminals of the first 21 and second 20 switches of the second power stage 12 so that the first switch 21 will remain in switched-ON conduction state, and the freewheeling switch 20 will remain in switched-OFF non-conduction state, until the output voltage of the switching power converter achieves a predetermined threshold output voltage. It should be observed that the threshold is lower than the intended output voltage, e.g. 300V.
  • the switches 20, 21 of the second power 12 stage are controlled such that they are respectively alternately turned on and off for obtaining the intended regulated output voltage, and the full-bridge switches are permanently set respectively at 50% of the duty cycle.
  • the bi-directional switching power supply operates as only a single power stage due to the second power 12 stage being by-passed, hence non-operating.
  • the first power 11 stage is operating at 50% of its duty cycle and the second power 12 stage is switching to obtain the intended regulated output voltage.
